PC Magazine's award-winning "Virtual Tradeshow on Security and Mobility," held in August 2006, was produced by InXpo and featured webcasting technology from ON24.
The Folio: FAME Awards honor the consumer, b-to-b, association, and city and regional magazines that set themselves apart from competitors through innovative, revenue-generating and brand-building events. The winning show featured nearly all of the components of a physical event, including virtual exhibitor booths, live chats with keynote speakers, including Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster, a help booth, an interactive virtual lounge and prizes and promotions exclusively available to show attendees.
"It has been a pleasure partnering with Ziff Davis Media's PC Magazine to explore the ways in which publishers and other businesses can use our online-event platform to better serve their customers and marketing partners," said InXpo CEO Malcolm Lotzof. "We are very proud to have produced and managed PC Magazine's award-winning event, as the competition was stiff, with over 150 competing events."
"Being honored by Folio in our start-up year of PCMagCasts indicates our multimedia online content—aided by PC Magazine expert editors—has really resonated with the tech-savvy professionals who tune in to our live webcast seminars," said Jason S. Young, president of PC Magazine, Consumer/SMB, Ziff Davis Media. "PCMagCasts have quickly become one of Ziff Davis's most successful initiatives."
